For those far away from Slovenia, is the broadcast available over the internet (I know, I know)? This link says it's not available because of "regional restrictions":

How well does this work with lossy compression? I would trust only lossless formats and analog with digital data encoded as audio, but I have zero hands-on experience with this

The bit rate of a speccy tape recording was only about 1500 bps, and we routinely recorded on the cheapest tapes, and tape machines that were little better. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Minimodem at 300BPS with the audio encoded to OPUS at 64 KBPS makes pretty reliable dumps with a relative small space per hour (~30MB).

For something a bit more authentic, find a WebSDR that is located somewhere in or close to Slovenia :)
